And Zechariah said to the angel, "By what will I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced {in years}!"

Now after these days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she kept herself in seclusion [for] five months, saying,

But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, and concerning all the evil deeds that Herod had done,

It is reported everywhere [that there] is sexual immorality among you, and sexual immorality of such a kind which [does] not [even exist] among the Gentiles, so that someone has the wife of [his] father.

But because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband.

The husband must fulfill his obligation to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but her husband [does]. And likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife [does].

To the married I command--not I, but the Lord--a wife must not separate from [her] husband.

But if indeed she does separate, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce [his] wife.

Thus also husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. The one who loves his own wife loves himself.
